No person shall construct, operate, maintain or use a
swimming pool in the first instance, without first having obtained a permit
from the Building Division of the Department of Community Development in accordance
with the provisions of this section. The application for such permit shall
be accompanied by a complete and detailed set of plans and specifications
for the swimming pool, including the following:

The fee for a permit required by this section shall be
such as is prescribed by resolution of the City commission. All electrical,
plumbing or other permit fees otherwise imposed by the City shall be deemed
required in addition thereto.

No pool edge shall be located closer than 25 feet to any public street
or eight feet to any lot line. Upon a showing that the variance requirements
set forth in the building code have been met, the Building Board of Appeals
may grant a variance from this requirement.

Swimming pools shall be provided with a potable water
supply. The water supply line to the pool shall be protected against back
flow of water by means of a fixed air gap six inches or more above the highest
possible water level, or by an approved vacuum breaker installed in an approved
manner. All filler pipe shall be located so as to prevent hazards to bathers.

All swimming pools located outside of a building shall
be enclosed by a fence extending from the ground to a point at least four
feet above the ground or any climbable, stationary object within three feet
of the fence. Such fence shall be one of the following types:

Gates shall meet the requirements for the fence construction,
shall be self-closing, self-latching and equipped with a keyed lock capable
of securely holding the gate closed. Service gates not ordinarily used for
ingress or egress for swimmers need not be self-closing or self-latching.

All swimming pools and the equipment, construction and
apparatus before mentioned in this chapter shall be maintained, operated and
used as intended in a safe and sanitary manner, and all reasonable precaution
shall be taken to protect all persons in the area from any hazard.

No persons with infectious or communicable diseases shall
be permitted within any swimming pool premises. Any such person knowingly
violating this subsection and any pool owner knowingly permitting the violation
of this subsection may be prosecuted for such violation.

Disinfecting agents shall be applied to swimming pool
water in such a manner as to provide adequate germicidal or bactericidal protection.
A standard of 0.3 to 1.0 parts per million chlorine residual shall be considered
acceptable. The pH (alkalinity and acidity) of the pool shall be maintained
between 7.0 and 8.0. Adequate testing devices shall be provided.

The Health Department shall inspect all swimming pools for sanitation, at least once yearly, and shall enforce all parts of this section relating to safety and sanitation. The Department of Public Safety shall enforce Subsection C of this section. The Building Section of the Department of Public Services shall enforce all other provisions of this chapter.

All enforcing departments and divisions, by their authorized
agents, shall have the right to enter upon the premises where any swimming
pool is located within the City, at any reasonable hour, for the purpose of
inspecting the pool and surrounding area for compliance with this chapter.
